DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Permits or Filings Sunday

No new oil and gas activity was recorded in North Dakota’s official daily report for Sunday, October 4, according to the state Department of Mineral Resources. The DMR's daily activity report, which tracks regulatory filings from operators, contained no new permits, well completions, spud reports, or notices of plugged wells. The daily report is a key source for tracking near-real-time operational activity in the Bakken formation and broader Williston Basin.
